*This* is evil? I regularly see worse things here in clp.
I'll elaborate slightly: even though I'm among those who regularly
emphasize that certain constructs have nearly no place in applica-
tion, as opposed to "system", programming, counting stack frames to
reach their end seems to me like a minor violation of coding hygiene.
Am I missing something in your suggestion?
